A "real" PDF link, defined in FrameMaker using a hypertext marker such as:

message URL http://www.irs.gov/efile/content/0,,id=171945,00.html

is carried over correctly to the PDF file, and is fully-functional in 

Acrobat/Reader.

However, when the URL is simply present in the text without a hypertext 

link defined, a "real" PDF link is not created. You (and your end-users) 

are then relying on Acrobat/Reader's "Create Links from URLs" feature 

(Edit > Preferences, General; in versions 7/8 it is called "Automatically 

detect URLs from text").

The presence of special characters may "disturb" the auto-detection, and 

truncate the resulting link. There are some variations as to special 

characters causing the problems, depending on the Acrobat/Reader version 

being used. With Acrobat/Reader 9, the comma indeed truncates the 

interpreted link.

Also, when longer web links that are split between lines are auto-detected 

(which may be likely with your URLs), only the portion present in the first 

line is used, resulting in an incorrect or partial link.

[Also take into account that end-users may view the PDF with older 

Acrobat/Reader versions, or non-Adobe viewers, where the link 

auto-detection feature may not be present at all.]

To have fully-functional links in all versions of Reader, I recommend 

adding hypertext links in FrameMaker, so that "real" links are present in 

the PDF. If you have lots of links to create, FrameScript can automate this 

task and is definitely worth looking into.
